"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew. And then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me. – Martin Niemöller „Eloször a szocialistákért jöttek, és nem emeltem fel értük a szavamat – mert nem voltam szocialista. Aztán a szakszervezetek tagjaiért jöttek, és nem emeltem fel értük a szavamat – mert nem voltam szakszervezeti tag. Aztán a zsidókért jöttek, és nem emeltem fel értük a szavamat – mert nem voltam zsidó. Aztán értem jöttek, és már nem volt, aki felemelje a szavát - értem.” – Martin Niemöller Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat. Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten, habe ich nicht protestiert; ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter. Als sie die Juden holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Jude. Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte. – Martin Niemöller ** To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last - but eat you he will. - Ronald Reagan

Street Condition Remarks 

Dear Sir / Madam, 

I am a twenty two year old student in Budapest. I am an extreme sports enthusiast and I am writing to explain the terrible situation of street sport possibilities. Skate boarding, in-line skating and BMX riding are common and accepted sports in every developed country. However, Hungary is a big exception. First of all, we don't have skate parks in this country so young people taking part in such events cannot do them safely. Second of all, they are forced to do their tricks in and on the roads, which makes for very dangerous and unhealthy problems.
 
So what can we do to solve this problem and why should we care? In skate parks, on the streets, or both? Street sports are not only great exercises but efficient and fun ways of travel - economical and environmentally friendly. The conditions and configurations of the roads are menacing and are probably the worst in Europe - totally inadequate for riding - and finally when the poor skater finds a good spot, he has 10 minutes before a security guy tells him to go away (usually not in the formal way)!

Yours faithfully,
